Making gingerbread houses are GREAT fun - but very time consuming.
The link to the site below has a good recipe for the basic gingerbread dough. Basically you make your templates out of cardboard and use them to cut out the house shapes from the gingerbread dough. Gingerbread dough is pretty easy to use and you can roll it in to a ball and roll it out again for each piece of the house.
If you want to be REALLY clever cut out small squares or circles in the walls for windows. Crush up boiled/hard lollies - different colours if you can and put the crushed lollies (sweets) in the windows BEFORE you cook the gingerbread. Put in the oven to cook. When it cooks the lollies (sweets) melt and formed 'glass stained' windows - very swish!
The REAL tricky bit is getting the icing to the right consistency to 'glue' it all together (you use the icing NOT super glue!!)
You then use the icing to 'glue' on all the lollies. You may start off thinking it's all messy - but the icing and lollies can cover up a lot of mistakes!!
One of the trickiest things is propping up the walls etc while you are assembling - this link says use 'soda cans' (soft drink cans). I also use baked bean tins/jam jars - anything the right size.
Hope you have a go - it's lots of fun - then you have to put it somewhere where it can be admired before the kids try to demolish and eat it all!!
Good Luck

Maybe you will be interested to know that you can buy the whole gingerbread house [ made of gingerbread] naturally from Squire's it is too cute. It has to be build up by you and you have to ice and decorate it but the hard work has all been done.

Ikea used to sell a kit you put together. Maybe they still sell them in their food shop.
